Hi folks

I have a channel master 1.2 meter dish at bottom of our garden fixed to a ground stand

Every year mrs moans about it being a eyesore & also tree to one side blooms & blocks some of the signal

Thinking about relocating onto back of house out of reach to kids, etc

Does anyone have this dish size, type, located to house?
Can you still purchase channel master wall mount,etc?
what size bolts would you use to secure its weight?

All opinions would be appreciated

thanks

If its to decent quality brick... then a guesstimate would be 6 rawlbolt type shield anchor bolt fixings 12 mm x 60mm (4 holding the bottom bracket and 1 either side for the supporting arms)

Better to use Multimontis or similar - cut their own thread in a pilot hole and less likely to cause the splitting problems associated with shield anchors.
